Rate my space

I have just posted up-to-date pictures of Cailee’s nursery on HGTV’s rate my space. Now you can vote or comment on your favorite. (see how I spend my precious down moments these days). If I could just figure out how to make this widget point directly to her room I would be in business. Until…

The seven things I hate that you do….

So I stole and have slightly re-purposed the top 40 hit by Miley Cyrus, “the seven things I hate about you” for this post. Yes, I have to admit – I was listening to the song and this is what came to mind and of course I am hoping that you’ll forgive me for referring…

What will they think of next?

It seems hard to fathom some of the things that you can do because of technology advances. Take for instance, today we took Cailee to visit her great grandmother and I was able to use my iPhone to take a picture, email it to several family members, plus add it to my Facebook profile (don’t…

Bugs be gone

For peace of mind we finally called in the big guns yesterday. Certainly not an expense I expected to incur just a few days after bringing a newborn home and just hours into the fall season when the cold weather should be enough to get rid of the creepy crawly bugs – but since we…

A designer who can’t decide on a design

How sad is it to be a graphic designer by trade and yet I can’t decide on which design I like the best. Maybe its the fact that to me this may be only a small memento but it introduces such a significant time in our lives. It has to be a design that reflects…

A smile might be just gas…

Spiders anyone?

So JJ and I have lived in the country now the better part of two years and this was a first. On Thursday, I was feeding Cailee and I felt something crawling on my arm – now that is nothing new out here in the woods – but when I looked I saw two itsy…

Can you pick out JJ?

A picture’s worth a thousand words (that’s why this post will be short and sweet). My mom said it way back when – based on an ultrasound picture – but there is obviously no denying that Cailee is taking after her daddy.

Things I don’t want to forget…

These last few days have been a blur and try as I might to make a mental note here and there – lack of sleep is making that hard to do. So many things have happened that it just makes sense to write them down so I can look back later on and be able…

Baby arrives, a bit like IKE

So I have been a little slack in updating everyone with the latest news around our house. Under the circumstances I am sure you can understand. We welcomed Cailee Jaymes officially on Friday, September 12th. It was perfect timing – just past the 11th and one day shy of the 13th and only one day…
